Ingredients

• 400g flour
• 300ml lukewarm water

• 1/2 teaspoon of sugar
• 1 teaspoon of salt

Preparation

4. Sprinkle a little flour on a large board, take the dough out of the bowl and form a rectangle.

6. Press your fingers into the dough. Fold the right end towards the center and the left end towards the center, forming a square.
7. Raise the board, sprinkle more flour and repeat the steps one more time.
8. Put a tea towel in a bowl, sprinkle with flour and put the dough inside.
